Material list

The solid hand cream is made here from natural ingredients in praline molds from Creative Kitchen. The cream helps against chapped skin and provides supple hands. A great idea, almost too good to give as a gift.

Recipe for making about 15 hand cream chocolates
(corresponds to the filling of a praline mold).

Ingredients:
3 tbsp. beeswax pastilles
4 tbsp. cocoa butter chips
1 tablespoon almond oil
2 tablespoons shea butter
5 drops of essential oil - optional/of choice e.g. orange.

Things to know about solid hand cream
This natural cosmetic is simply rubbed between the hands. The heat of the hand causes it to melt and cream in the process. It leaves a caring greasy film on the hands. If this is uncomfortable for you, apply the hand cream before going to bed.
This is how in-house production works
Heat the beeswax pastilles, the cocoa butter chips together with the almond oil in a water bath until everything is well melted. Add shea butter and let it melt as well. Finally, add essential oil and mix everything together. Now you need to act quickly.

Immediately pour the liquid mixture into the silicone mold without waiting. This will prevent unsightly bubbles from forming in the homemade hand cream chocolates. After about an hour, the individual pieces can be removed from the mold and placed in the gift box.
Making the gift box
Während die Creme sich verfestigt, kann die Zeit wunderbar für das Verzieren der Geschenkschachtel genutzt werden.

Schneiden Sie zunächst ein Stück Kraftpapier entsprechend der Größe des Schachtelbodens zu. Dieses wird später als Einlegepapier zum Auskleiden der Schachtel benötigt.

Für das Trennwandgitter benötigen Sie einen langen sowie zwei kurze Papierstreifen:

Streifenlänge lang = Länge der Schachtel
Streifenbreite lang = 2x die Höhe der Schachtel
Streifenlänge kurz = jeweils Breite der Schachtel
Streifenbreite kurz = jeweils 2x die Höhe der Schachtel

Knicken Sie die Streifen auf Höhe der Schachtel und kleben Sie die Wände zusammen. Sie haben somit solide Trennwände aus Papier gefertigt. Schneiden Sie mit einem Cuttermesser die lange Trennwand nach jeweils einem Drittel der Länge zur Hälfte ein. Die beiden kurzen Trennwände werden genau in der Mitte zur Hälfte eingeschnitten. Stecken Sie nun die kurzen Teile in das lange, sodass ein Gitter entsteht. Eventuell die Verbindungsstellen mit Bastelkleber fixieren und dabei die Wände parallel zueinander ausrichten.

Verwenden Sie ein Stück dekoratives Naturpapier als Schachteleinlage (Achtung! Dieses Papier sollte nicht zu klein sein, da es später oberhalb des Papiergitters mit einem Sticker verschlossen wird).
Legen Sie den zuvor zugeschnittenen Kraftpapierbogen über dem Naturpapier in den Schachtelboden und setzen sie anschließend das Papiergitter in die Schachtel.

Sobald die Handcreme Pralinen in der Schachtel liegen, legen Sie das überstehende Naturpapier über das Gitter und verschließen Sie es mit einem Sticker.

Der Deckel kann abschließend von Ihnen ganz nach Belieben mit Natur- & Kraftpapier, mit Stempel und Schleifen verziert werden.
